The Next Thing on My List- enjoy your life!


I’m going to recommend a book that might make you think more about your life. It is called, “The Next Thing on My List.”

 

June Parker was a girl trying to find herself. She was in her thirties, single, worked as a writer for LA Rideshare and had a limited social life. Racked with guilt after getting in a car accident in which her passenger, Marissa, was killed, June decided to complete the list which she found in Marissa’s wallet. Some of the items were rather simple, while others seemed to be almost impossible.

 

As she gradually fulfilled the things on the list, she started to ask herself that what was she really wanted, what hasn’t she tried and what life did she want to live. These questions changed her life and she realized how precious gift Marissa gave her.

 

We sometimes live lives without knowing what we really should do. It is easy to get lost in our lives and we may gain nothing in the end. Try to give yourself a little time and think seriously about what you want and what you really desire to achieve. Life is precious and can’t be replayed. Live your life seriously and enjoy it!

Thereupon, the God sends the angel-an inspirational story


This week, I want to introduce an affecting Taiwanese novel to you. It is called, ”Thereupon, the God sends the angel.”

 

It all began from an imperfect teddy bear doll. It lay under the moonlight quietly, waiting someone notice it and take it away from the toyshop desperately. Then the little girl showed up, awaking it with her tears. This unfortunate girl lost her parents at the beginning of the story. Her family once dreamed of traveling around the world. As this dream became impossible, she pleaded a foreign stranger to take her beloved teddy bear as a represent of her family to fulfill this dream.

 

Not only did the little girl fulfill the dream but also find her beloved teddy bear a heart and love. As people’s stories happened around the little teddy bear, they share a little part of their hearts. In the journey, it gradually learned happiness, depression, missing and expectation, most importantly, love.

 

Love is the most magical thing in the world. It can make the most impossible thing possible. It is love that connects the whole world. It is also the reason why the beautiful things happen. Be thankful and cherish it whenever you are lucky enough to have it.
